DAY 25 OF 47

Alive: Let there be love

O God,

We are one with You. You have made us one with You.

You have taught us that if we are open to one another, You dwell in us.

Help us to preserve this openness and to fight for it with all our hearts.

Help us to realize that there can be no understanding where there is mutual rejection.

In accepting one another wholeheartedly, fully, completely, we accept You,

and we thank You, and we adore You, and we love You with our whole being,

because our being is Your being, our spirit is rooted in Your Spirit.

Fill us then with love, and let us be bound together with love as we go our diverse ways, united in this one Spirit which makes You present in the world,

and which makes You witness to the ultimate reality that is love.

Love has overcome. Love is victorious.

Amen.

About this Plan

Alive: Lent Devotionals

These Lent devotionals will take you on a journey to discover the abundant life that Jesus offers. The world is full of noise and distraction – bright lights that lead us away from the depth of life, keeping us in the shallows. The kingdom of heaven – the kingdom of life and love and joy – is closer than we think. Let us grasp it with both hands.
